In this year-end episode of HealtPadTalks, we dissect the forces redrawing the MedTech landscape - and the blind spots leaders can no longer afford. Hardware is ceding ground to AI-driven, data-intensive platforms that span the full patient journey: always on, always learning, always scaling. The centre of gravity is shifting - and fast. While the US and Europe still command attention, momentum is accelerating in Saudi Arabia, India, and across Africa. New markets. New rules. New power dynamics. This is a wake-up call. The next generation of MedTech winners won’t compete on devices alone, but on intelligence, analytics, and business models built for a global MedTech arms race.

Africa is the world’s next healthcare frontier - young, bold, unstoppable. With rapid urbanisation and a booming youth population, the time to act is now. In this episode of HealthPadTalks, we explore why Africa’s moment demands daring investment, co-creation, and scalable innovation - driving health to the core of prosperity.
